European Trainee Forum for Interventional Radiology

European Trainee Forum for Interventional Radiology The ETF is a framework for all CIRSE activities related to IR trainees, residents and young IRs.

Launched by CIRSE in 2015, the European Trainee Forum aims to encourage the participation of young physicians in international scientific and educational activities and to create a space within CIRSE to further their careers through networking opportunities.

🩺 = Cholangioscopy day with Professor Francisco Cesar Carnevale.

We had the honor of hosting a hands-on training in percutaneous cholangioscopy for the interventional radiology residents from the University of São Paulo Medical School.

It was an incredible day — five successful cases, rich discussions, and invaluable exchange of experiences.

Moments like these strengthen our mission to keep advancing interventional radiology through teaching, teamwork, and innovation. 💪

A 65-year-old male patient presented with severe low back pain and disc herniation confirmed on T2-weighted MRI. He underwent a percutaneous mechanical decompression procedure aimed at reducing disc pressure and improving symptoms.

💉 Treatment steps included:
- Trocar insertion approximately 10 cm from the spinous process, above the iliac crest.
- 45° lateral oblique fluoroscopic view to identify the “Scottish dog” profile and confirm the entry point.
- Verification of trocar positioning through contrast media injection.
- Insertion of the decompression device through the trocar, performing rotational and anteroposterior movements up to the anterior margin of the vertebral body.
- A precise, image-guided, minimally invasive approach designed to optimize outcomes and reduce patient recovery time.

December's is dedicated to low back pain.

⚕️ We start with this innovative study published in the CVIR - CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, which evaluated transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with imipenem/cilastatin for chronic low back pain resistant to conservative treatment. TAE is a minimally invasive technique that shows real promise, especially for patients with facet or sacroiliac joint–related pain.

Check out the newly updated course on pelvicalyceal and ureteric obstructions in the CIRSE Academy! https://t.ly/Bth2V

This course aims to introduce IRs to basic and advanced techniques for adequate management of pelvicalyceal and ureteric obstruction with a specific focus on nephrostomy and stent insertion. Anatomical and pathophysiological aspects are covered, as well as indications and contraindications. The course also covers the most relevant technical aspects of nephrostomy insertion, anterograde stent insertion for native bladder, and urinary diversions. It also discusses materials and devices, focusing especially on those used in nephrostomy and ureteral stent insertion.
